My pappy said when I was seventeen you`re six feet tall and your face is clean And it don`t look right for a boy that old to not make a livin` loadin` coal Loadin` coal loadin` coal I`m a double first cousin to a dad blamed mole Never get rich for to save my soul and forty `leven years a loadin` coal loadin` coal Ain`t never got acquainted with a dollar bill and I don`t ever reckon that I ever will A dollar ain`t made for a fellar I`m told that scoops up a livin` loadin` coal Loadin` coal loadin` coal... [ ac.guitar ] I cussed everything in the mining camp from a shovel and my pick to my carbide lamp But I know mighty well till I grow old I`ll still be a cussin` but loadin` coal Loadin` coal loadin` coal... [ ac,guitar ] I know just as well as coal is black one of these days the mines were strike And I`ll sit around starvin` till I`m finally told There`s a nickel more a ton for loadin` coal Loadin` coal loadin` coal...
